The Triton M0F001KC router is one in a new class of routers that features an integrated router lift that makes it ideal for use in a router table. We tested similar routers from seven manufacturers. Our tests included checking runout with a dial indicator and inspecting how each router worked by testing it with a tall moulding bit.

The Triton won the Editors Best Overall and Best Value awards because it had the easiest bit-changing and height adjustment of those tested. Plus, it comes with several accessories, including an edge guide and a guide for cutting circles. We also liked the safety feature that prevents the power switch from being engaged when changing the bit.

Festool Rotex FEQ-Plus Random Orbital Sander

The Festool Rotex is a top-of-the-line choice. On its coarse setting, it removed stock nearly twice as quickly as the second-fastest model. But that speed doesn’t mean you’ll have to wrestle with it. It’s no huge task to control it with two hands, and its long body gives you plenty of room to find a sweet spot while holding it.
